Al-Samiriyya (Template:Langx), was a Palestinian Arab village in the District of Baysan. It was depopulated by the Israel Defense Forces during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War on May 27, 1948, as part of Operation Gideon. It was located 7 km southeast of Baysan.
History
The village had a mosque and three Khirbas: Khirbat al-Humra, Tulul al-Thawm, and Tall al-Khab.[1]
Ottoman era
In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine found at Khurbet es Samriyeh: "Ruined walls and traces of ruins alone remain. The place has, however, the appearance of an ancient site, and is well supplied with water."[2] Of Khurbet el Humra they noted: "A few walls standing and a ruined mill. No indications of antiquity exist",[3] while of Tellûl eth Thŭm they noted: "Artificial mounds; a stream of water to the north".[4]
British Mandate era
In the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the Mandatory Palestine authorities, Samriyeh had a population of 162; all Muslims,[5] increasing in the 1931 census to 181 Muslims, in a total of 41 houses.[6]
In the 1945 statistics the village had a population of 250; 240 Muslims and 10 Christians,[7] with a total of 3,873 dunums of land.[8] Of this, 11 dunums were irrigated or used for plantation, 2,801 were for cereals,[9] while 22 dunams were built-up land.[10]
1948, aftermath
The village became depopulated in May, 1948, after the Arab inhabitants of Baysan had been expelled.[11][12][13]
In 1951 Sdei Trumot was established on village land, just north of the village site.[1]
In 1992 the village site was described: "Only collapsed roofs remain, they are located on the western edge of the Sdei Trumot settlement".[1]
